It has become starkly apparent to me that we lack any sort of strategic foreign policy view, and when I say 'we,' I mean the country in general, but in particular, the Republican Party.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My view of foreign policy is that we need to be careful and circumspect about United States intervention in any foreign nation.
American foreign policy, for all its shortcomings, has underpinned political stability around the world.
Often, foreign policy - which, by definition, is largely out of American control - is simply a matter of not doing the wrong thing, the unwise thing.
There is obviously a gap between the public's perception of the role of U.S. foreign policy and the elite's perception.
We're in an illusion about what our role is in world politics and foreign affairs, and our policies are killing and destroying and doing a lot of things that we are not aware of.
It is my view that we cannot conduct foreign policy at the extremes.
Our foreign policy needs to support our energy, economic, defense and domestic policies. It all falls within the arch of national interest. There will be windows of opportunity, but they will open and close quickly.
The problem with the U.S. foreign policy is that we're just so unbelievably powerful. And when you've got that kind of power, it's very hard not to use it.
Foreign policy is like human relations, only people know less about each other.
We have come a long way in terms of foreign policy.
